Re: JT's and other weight distribution

That's true, I know they swapped motors to a 5.3 so they lost some there and probably all their suspension changes lost some. I figured if they lost 250 pounds off the front they would need to move another 150 from the front to the rear.
I don't know what you gain (or loose) rather with an aluminum radiator. I assume a swap to the rack and pinion steering lost some weight in front too.
